Alpha Caden’s POV

With firm resolve, I strode through the grand corridors of the palace, my footsteps echoing against the polished marble floors. The weight of my decision hung heavy in the air as I made my way to the throne room, the gravity of the moment palpable with each passing moment.

I feel like I have aged a million years in the past few months and I’m not liking it at all. It seems like everyone is after my life in this palace, not only Alexander. Even the Elders want me to do everything at the same time. I mean, I don't know how being a king is.

I entered the opulent chamber, the elders turned their attention to me, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Standing tall at the head of the room, I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. Not that they will stop me. No force will be able to.

"My esteemed elders," I began, my voice steady and commanding, "I have come to address an important matter regarding the coronation."
